VB reader Dave Quigley shares his dissatisfaction with the current council administration and puts a call out to other readers to start an Alliance of Independent councillors. Ed
I wish to appeal to those who, like myself, are sick and tired of County Hall being run by Councillors who have their first allegiance mainstream political parties and who do not represent the wishes of the vast majority of their electorate.
We have two years before our next Council, and now is the time to get moving.
I propose an alliance of Independent candidates
I wish to propose that we set up an Alliance of Independent candidates with the aim of taking county hall out of the hands of the incumbents who are hell bent of the complete butchery of our public services.
I am almost 70 and am partially disabled so do not feel that I could stand, however I can offer my time, energy and my fairly powerful computer system to help organise things. We do not have to achieve a huge target as many of the ruling group of councillors do not have huge majorities.
I would be happy to hear from anyone who would either like to stand or would be prepared to help, or who has further ideas. It would also be very helpful to hear the views of as many as possible of our current ten independent councillors as we would wish to ensure your continued occupation of your seats on the council.Please help to stop the wholesale destruction of our Island way of life.
